Slow-Cooker French Onion Soup

Suddenly I see a lot of recipes for French Onion Soup so I go to my own recipe file and pull out a family favorite for this soup. My recipe was derived from a Diet Workshop recipe book that I still have. 
I did make changes.You know I always have to add my own touch. 
This is the recipe I came up with years ago that my family always enjoyed.
